mBART-50 many to one multilingual machine translation
This model is a fine-tuned checkpoint of mBART-large-50. mbart-large-50-many-to-many-mmt is fine-tuned for multilingual machine translation. It was introduced in Multilingual Translation with Extensible Multilingual Pretraining and Finetuning paper.
The model can translate directly between any pair of 50 languages.
from transformers import MBartForConditionalGeneration, MBart50TokenizerFast
article_hi = "संयुक्त राष्ट्र के प्रमुख का कहना है कि सीरिया में कोई सैन्य समाधान नहीं है"
article_ar = "الأمين العام للأمم المتحدة يقول إنه لا يوجد حل عسكري في سوريا."
model = MBartForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("facebook/mbart-large-50-many-to-one-mmt")
tokenizer = MBart50TokenizerFast.from_pretrained("facebook/mbart-large-50-many-to-one-mmt")
# translate Hindi to English
tokenizer.src_lang = "hi_IN"
encoded_hi = tokenizer(article_hi, return_tensors="pt")
generated_tokens = model.generate(**encoded_hi)
tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
# => "The head of the UN says there is no military solution in Syria."
# translate Arabic to English
tokenizer.src_lang = "ar_AR"
encoded_ar = tokenizer(article_ar, return_tensors="pt")
generated_tokens = model.generate(**encoded_ar)
tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
# => "The Secretary-General of the United Nations says there is no military solution in Syria."
